Kerry Logistics Network Limited is proud to be recognised for its achievements in Environmental, Social and Governance (‘ESG’), and was selected as the winner of both HKET’s Excellent ESG Enterprise of 2020-2021 (‘HKET Award’) and Bloomberg Businessweek’s ESG Leading Enterprise Awards (‘Bloomberg Awards’; collectively the ‘ESG Awards’), the latter of which KLN has won for the third consecutive year.
William Ma, Group Managing Director of KLN, said, “We are grateful to be selected as the winner of the two ESG Awards, reaffirming our commitment to upholding the highest ESG governance standards across countries and operations. KLN prides itself on being a socially responsible global company and has always developed its business strategies and operations under the best corporate governance practices while offering care and assistance to the communities it serves. Since the onset of the pandemic in early 2020, KLN has been providing a wide range of support to various humanitarian programmes, facilitating the rapid response to disasters and emergencies. We believe the recognition we received from the ESG Awards will drive us to go one step further in environmental sustainability and corporate social responsibility, achieving business growth while continuing to contribute to a global future.”
The HKET Award was newly inaugurated by the Hong Kong Economic Times, a leading local financial daily, as a part of its Excellent ESG Recognition Scheme. Themed “A New Normal for ESG”, the programme this year focuses on honouring companies for their ability to navigate through uncertainties and adapt to emerging changes, based on the idea that companies with higher ESG scores often demonstrate greater resilience to adversity. The award programme is divided into two categories, namely, “Excellent ESG Enterprise of 2020-2021” and “Special Recognition Award of the Year (Project)”. Winners were scored by a judging panel comprising representatives from academic institutions, ESG organisations, chambers of commerce and different industries, as well as the general public. The awards ceremony was held on 16 November 2021.
The Bloomberg Awards were established in 2019 by the international business publication Bloomberg Businessweek/Chinese Edition in collaboration with Deloitte. By rewarding Hong Kong-listed companies for their remarkable ESG performance, the Bloomberg Awards aim to encourage enterprises to adopt ESG practices strategically to foster a sustainable business culture and positively impact the environment and society. The Bloomberg Awards comprise three categories, namely, the “ESG Leading Enterprise Awards”, “Leading ESG Initiative Awards”, and “Theme Awards”, and a panel of judges audited the results made up of leaders in the financial and banking industries and academia. The awards ceremony will be held on 8 December 2021.
